The Curriculum

If you are attending any school or college we will work with your teachers so that you can continue your normal curriculum as best as possible while you are in hospital. Being a small team of teachers we are experienced in teaching most subjects up to GCSE level and some up to A Level. Take a look at the section of the website to see what subjects we all enjoy teaching. However; there are times when our pupils come to us to study subjects such as Japanese. In these instances, we will facilitate your learning the best we can while working together with your mainstream teachers who can point us all in the right direction!

You will be able to discuss with your teachers where in your timetable you will be studying which of your subjects. A good idea is to download your timetable from this page so that you can tailor it around your individual programme of study; we can help you if you wish.
